Alex Bregman hit his first home run for the Boston Red Sox in Thursday's win over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.

It wasn't a necessity, of course, but an Opening Day home run for newly minted Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman would have nicely cemented the start of his career in Boston, with whom he signed in February following a nine-year stint with the Houston Astros.

The Red Sox clinched the series with an 8-4 triumph Thursday afternoon. The Boston bats came alive in that game as Bregman, Kristian Campbell and Triston Casas all contributed 2-run home runs in the victory. Bregman had his best game in a Red Sox uniform as he also had 2 doubles in addition to his first-inning long ball.
